First, Hulk All The Lawyers: ‘She-Hulk’ Trailer Shows Jennifer Walters Suiting Up To Defend Superheroes
Superheroes need lawyers too, and Jennifer Walters is here to fill that niche.
Disney dropped the first trailer for its upcoming She-Hulk series, giving the show a little bit of context and a brand new title.
She-Hulk: Attorney at Law stars Tatiana Maslany (Orphan Black) as the reluctant hero Jennifer Walters, who would prefer to stay under the radar, unlike her other heroic counterparts. Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo) is her cousin, who both is responsible somehow for her ability to turn into the Hulk and gives her tips to control her transformation into a 6-foot-7-inch superpowered hulk.
When Bruce tells Jennifer to control her anger and fear to keep from transforming against her will, Jennifer retorts that’s “like the baseline for any woman just existing!”
Jennifer’s law firm wants her to specialize in superhuman-oriented legal cases, to take advantage of her status as superhero-adjacent. The She-Hulk’s notoriety, though, means that Jennifer is going to have a hard time just being a 30-something woman juggling a career, dating, and life in San Francisco.
She-Hulk’s trailer also features a handful of glimpses of longtime Hulk foe Abomination (Tim Roth), showing that the series will find ways to connect to the larger MCU.
The show also stars Jameela Jamil as She-Hulk’s nemesis Titania, Ginger Gonzaga, Josh Segarra, Jon Bass and Renée Elise Goldsberry. The nine-episode series starts after the conclusion of Ms. Marvel on August 17th.
